The Russian Defense Ministry reported that more than 70 ships are still blocked in the ports of Ukraine

“76 foreign ships from 18 states continue to be blocked in seven Ukrainian ports,” Mizintsev said at a briefing.

According to him, the threat of shelling and mine danger created by Kyiv does not allow ships to go to sea.

Earlier it became known that in Mariupol the sea trade port was completely liberated from the militants of the Ukrainian national battalion "Azov".
